Has cumfybus got more than one depot? It took me by surprise seeing their new services after only seeing them in Liverpool/Southport before now
RE: Cumfybus - T42 PVM - 02/09/2016 09:59
Cumfybus has a Depot in Aintree, a Depot in Southport (Around the corner from Arriva Southports) and a Depot in Farnworth, Bolton (The former Maytree Yard)

I think NT06 GKA arrived at the same time (and probably from the same source).
Thanks for this saw it going past my window and originally thought it was one of the recent acquisitions from Holmeswood so decided to go for a ride and find out.

On the subject of the Bolton depot and Maytree, is the former Maytree owner Gary Hawthorne?? Still involved in Cumfybus's Bolton operation?

I Believe so yes

That has since moved (about a year ago) to the area of halliwell in Bolton.

Southport Depot is gone as well. all ops are based out of aintree now
RE: Cumfybus - T42 PVM - 06/09/2016 07:30
When did that happen?
RE: Cumfybus - B10B6514 - 06/09/2016 10:49
Southport depot is run out of a yard on Russell Road shared with another business. Can't see them moving it to Aintree because of the costs plus the Southport operation is run by a bank of regular, mainly semi-retired drivers. I'll check though.
RE: Cumfybus - B10B6514 - 07/09/2016 07:38
The Southport depot/outstation is still operational. Buses are running in and out of it on routes 15, 40, 701 and 715 at least.
